Why do the CELTA at the Anglo-American Centre?

You would be putting yourself in the shop window for a teaching job with us at the end of the course. The Anglo-American Centre in Cagliari is one of the leading language schools in Italy and by doing the CELTA with us lets you get a feel for the school and city before committing yourself to an academic year of classes. We will be looking to recruit the best candidates from our CELTA courses this summer to join our teaching staff (as we have 20 full-time teachers on the staff in a typical year). If you decided that you would prefer to work in another part of Italy we can put in a good word for you with the AISLi group of schools (an association of quality language schools in Italy).

Your 6 hours of observed lessons would be with real working teachers and their classes. We prefer not to just use videos of lessons for you to watch. Doing it this way allows you to get an idea of the kind of thought process that goes on during the planning phase, you get a ringside seat on real classes and you can speak to the teacher about the lesson afterwards, which will help you to understand things that went on during the lesson in greater detail. This insight is invaluable in helping you apply the same principles when you have to do your own teaching practice.

You would be under the guidance of our expert tutors. They have huge amounts of experience , tons of drive and plenty of insights that will really help you get through the course. We keep the trainee groups small so that you get more personal attention from the tutors. They are world class CELTA Tutors who have taught CELTA all over the world. Both are very personable and supportive- sometimes a CELTA trainee needs some wise words of advice, sometimes just a shoulder to cry on!

You would be doing the CELTA in a really beautiful part of the world. Cagliari is the capital city of Sardinia. It is big enough to be an interesting place with lots of history. It is small enough to be friendly and safe. It is on the coast (Poetto beach is 15 minutes by bus from the school) and even though you will be busy with the CELTA, you will manage to get some time to yourself to enjoy the amazing beaches or explore the mountains.

Costs:

The CELTA course costs 1600 euros (payable in installments) which also includes the CELTA exam fee and all teaching materials.

Once you have completed the application form and the Pre-Interview task in the attachment, you will be contacted by one of the course tutors for an interview. You do not have to make a down payment until you are given an official offer of a place on the course.
